    Drag Link recall update per FCA

    Well, I had the adjuster sleeve jam nuts welded back in June 2019 on my '18 2500. About a week ago I received an update from FCA re: How an alignment is performed after the welding!!! Nothing like keeping on top of a situation! Here is a pic of the items included...FREE stickers!

    Serpentine Belt Life Expectancy

    I'm retired now, but used to drive tractor trailer for Daimler-Chrysler, Chrysler Transport, FCA,Stellantis. We once had Mack tractors & had a bunch of idler pulleys go bad. Mack sent us a pallet of replacements under warranty. Our mechanics changed them all out.

    Towing Mileage Comparison / Questions

    One other thing to consider in the Gas vs. Diesel comparison is the exhaust brake of the diesel. That is worth it's weight in gold in the mountains.

    First tow hitch - Rhino Hitch!

    And cross the chains under the hitch to create a basket to catch the tongue should something fail.

    PHONE CHARGING PORT

    Perhaps put a USB adapter in a lighter/power port that's always hot???

    PHONE CHARGING PORT

    Some FCA vehicles have a fuse slot w/ 2 positions. #1 hot w/ ignition. #2 hot all the time. Move the fuse over to suit your needs. Look for a fuse spot w/ 3 little slits for the fuse blades to go in.

    Performance at higher altitude

    Perhaps take it in to a dealer at those elevations? They should know more & have the experience.

    Truck bed tie downs for the side walls

    I have these. Fairly stout. Moveable for tie down angles. Easy enough to clamp in place. Rubber padding to protect against scratches.

    Wheels stuck on?

    Sometimes you need to fully tighten the lug nuts, then back them off a little. Drive around the block. Wiggle the steering wheel to loosen the front. Slam on the brakes to help w/ the back ones. I've also had to back the tires on my Dually into a curb to break them free. Good Luck. Let us know...

    Cause of my leaking pinion seal?

    It'd be a real shame if somehow some gear oil got accidentally spilled on the leaking pinion seal before the next dealer visit.

    Sometimes disconnecting the battery for 20-30 minutes will clear "permanent" codes.
